My screen is messed up. The right half is cut off. This is in firefox. I went to IE, and it worked fine.

Can anyone help me?

You spoke of the solution in your post. Use Internet Explorer until it's back to normal on Mozilla Firefox.

I had the same problem for a while. I think un-installing then re-installing Firefox worked for me. Or I might have restarted the computer. I dont remember exactly.

If none of those work then just use IE.

Maybe there should be a popup before someone posts a message in this board that simple restarts the persons computer.

99% of all "bugs" posted here can be solved by restarting your computer. The PC machine that runs Windows must be restarted on a regular basis. To not do so will often cause many programs to run erratically.

I am not saying reboot your computer every 5 minutes. But maybe every couple of days, as you head to bed, hit Restart.

I turn my computer off every night before I go to bed.

have you tried removing the large knife sticking out diagnolly from the side of your monitor? :huh:

Sorry, the serious response now:
The code for the TAO launch window opens it to be the full size of your monitor resolution, regardless of what that resolution is. For those of you following along at home, this would be
"var winwidth = Math.min(840, Math.max(800, screen.availWidth)), winheight = Math.min(640, Math.max(600, screen.availHeight));"

What I'm guessing is that the window is opening to the maximium it can given your resolution, but the flash object embedded in the HTML of that new window is bigger then that. You see the code also specifically states:
"scrollbars=no,resizable=no".

Let me ask: when you use IE does the window come out larger, where you can click and drag it to see the right portion of the TAO screen?

He doesnt have to be to talk about that.

Hes talking about a simple HTML code to open a window for a set size.

Anyone that knows the code, which could be anyone that knows HTML and has looked at the TAO HTML code would know that.

Also, I have had that happen to me with Firefox, its the size settings that they use.

I say stay with IE, But get the new version IE 7.3 beta.

I did indeed major in biology and computer science. I don't really consider myself a computer wiz tho. However, the other uniquin *is* and happens to work pretty high up in google (guru, to say the least), so when there's something really complex I don't know how to handle, I have a partner in crime when needed. ;)

EDIT:
Disclaimer - I don't actually know for sure if this was the problem, I'm just throwing out an idea which seems the most likely. In other words, while I may speak intelligently and knowledgably about a given situation, I have my limits and can only do so much with the information given.
